An empty desk tells a story

School absenteeism affects behavior, learning, and progress. Tied to every absence are worried parents, affected siblings, concerned teachers, and disrupted classroom environments — especially if attendance is affected for a sustained period of time. 

There is a story behind every empty desk. Together, we can rewrite it for your students.

For Community Partners

Bring no-cost behavioral health support to families in your community

In partnership with the State of California, Brightline created BrightLife Kids to bring behavioral health coaching to every family with kids ages 0–12. California pays 100%, which means there's no cost to the families — or to you.

Expert care from experienced, diverse coaches

Flexible care, right from home

Live, 1:1 video sessions with behavioral health experts with extended hours to accommodate school and work schedules.

Trained, high-quality coaches

All of our coaches receive professional inclusivity and cultural competency training. Many of them speak both English and Spanish, come from diverse backgrounds, and have experience working with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities.

Simple, quick access to personalized care

Each family works with a dedicated coach, so there’s no starting over each session. Live coaching sessions are available within days and parents or caregivers can send a secure chat or access digital resources anytime.

Guidance from experts

We work with families to understand their unique needs and ensure they get the right level of support for their child — whether that’s through our coaching programs or by connecting them with community resources.

Two adults (only visible from the torso down) are sitting side by side wearing jeans and boots, with a small child seated between them. The child is wearing blue pants and colorful knitted or crocheted leg warmers. All three are partially covered by a vibrant, multicolored crocheted blanket with a granny square pattern featuring bright pinks, blues, yellows, and other colors. The adults' hands are visible holding or supporting the child. The scene suggests a cozy family moment outdoors in autumn or spring.

Surrounding the letters are several blue paper cloud cutouts of different shades, arranged decoratively around the word. The composition appears to be a crafted display or educational visual about autism.

Refer a child to BrightLife Kids

Early intervention can make a big difference when it comes to the mental health of a child. If you know of a family who could benefit from our coaching programs and resources, you can refer them directly to us. We’ll reach out to the parents or caregivers, and if interested, they’ll get onboarded quickly and set up to receive care.
